Very Computer

Hi !

I have just installed Solaris x86 2.6. The name of this maschine
is "daggy" and domain "banich.de" - only for my local network at
home.

(1) I have a notebook running Win95 and want to get my data there
    to the Solaris computer using ftp:
    How do I have to configure the Solaris to do so ?
    I have just added the IP address (e.g. 49.69.198.100 - I
    know, not an allowed one, but it is for my home purpose
    only : any suggestions for a better one !? :-) ) to
    /etc/hosts: 49.69.198.100    daggy     localhost
    and the file /etc/defaultdomain: branich.de
    When I do a ping 127.0.0.1: it says  "localhost alive"
    a ping 49.69.198.100 follows:
    "ICMP from localhost (127.0.0.1) to daggy (49.69.198.100)
     network not reachable ..."
    ifconfig -a : lo0 127.0.0.1 (localhost) up, ...etc.

    What else is to do ?

(2) It would be nice, if there is anywone, who can help me to
    set up my dialup (modem) internet connection from solaris to
    my university. I have seen, that there are several ppp-tools
    or daemons who can do this: but I dont know HOW :-(

how about using 192.168.x.x (non-routeable internet test ip address
range)

Quote:>     /etc/hosts: 49.69.198.100    daggy     localhost

/etc/hosts should look like
127.0.0.1     localhost
192.168.0.10  daggy daggy.banich.de loghost
and any other TCP/IP and hostname information for other machines on your
network
192.168.0.11  beerstein beerstein.banich.de
etc. etc.

Quote:>     and the file /etc/defaultdomain: branich.de

file /etc/defaultdomain is used for NIS+.  Delete this file, you are not
using NIS+.

/etc/hostname.xxx0 (xxx is the abbreviation for type of ethernet
interface- for example .le0 for lance ethernet default SPARC machines
-10 base T) should have the name of the the machine name in it (daggy
only)
